To Use a Port Replicator
(Select Models Only)
A port replicator provides your notebook with external
connections that you can leave in place whenever you remove the
notebook. Instead of disconnecting and reconnecting peripheral
devices, you can simply undock and dock the notebook.
Ä
CAUTION: Use only the approved AC adapter that meets the power
requirements of the notebook.
Using the wrong AC adapter could damage the notebook or adapter,
cause data loss, and may void your warranty.
You can dock or undock the notebook in any power state: on, off,
Standby, or Hibernation. Make sure, however, that the notebook
is not entering into or resuming from Standby or Hibernation
when you dock or undock, or the notebook could lock up.
✎
Before docking or undocking your notebook, save your data and
close any applications associated with external connections that
might be affected. Do this as a precaution against an unlikely
docking problem.
To Dock to the Port Replicator
1. Plug in the AC adapter, then connect it to the back of the
port replicator. You can also operate the port replicator
using power from the notebook battery.
2. Remove the rubber cover from the docking connector on
the bottom of the notebook.
